Movicol Half Powder is a laxative for the treatment of constipation in adults, adolescents and the elderly. It is not recommended for children below 12 years of age. Movicol helps you to have a comfortable bowel movement even if you have been constipated for a long time. Movicol half also works in very bad constipation called faecal impaction.

Faecal impaction: A dose of 16 sachets a day of Movicol-Half is needed for the treatment of faecal impaction. The 16 sachets should be taken within 6 hours for up to 3 days if required. If you have a heart condition do not take more than 4 sachets in any one hour. Movicol 13.8g sachet is a more convenient product to use for treating faecal impaction. Open the sachet and pour the contents into a glass. Add ¼ glass (about 62.5ml) of water to the glass. Stir well until all the powder has dissolved and the Movicol-Half solution is clear or slightly hazy, then drink it. If you like you can add a flavour such as orange squash to the drink.
